were earned by dint of sword have been stopped by the
Muscat Government for the last 16 years.
One of the conditions was that the Muscat
Government has no right to interfere in the Ghafiri
country, which is under control, and if the Muscat Gov
ernment has intentions against flani Ghafir, we have the
right to interfere in the matter and to stop the Govern
ment at the limit which was agreed upon. Ana it was
customary for our father to receive on demand, from the
Sultan of Muscat, monetary payments and arms. All these
rights have been stopped by the Mufjcat Government 'who aa
adopted this policy by trusting in the power of Great
Britain so as to deprive us of our legal rights and
privileges, and to achieve its certain aims ana objects
which may produce results that cannot be praised as is
not hidden from you.
We have firm hope* that your Just Government wj
deal with this matter with wmdom and kindness and restc
our rights just as they restored the rights of the ITaeer
tribes above Sohar, through His Excellency the Resident
Colonel Haworth, and Gauld Haraud bin Hamad, the late
Wall of our, in accordance with justice and equality.
Till the time of Major Haworth and Mr Wingate
the procedure of the communication between us ana the
officers of the British Government was that they reachec
us direct. This has changed for the last Xh. year, and
now letters (of the British Consul) reach us through th<
Wall of Sur and the Council of Ministers. Some tines
they come open and some times^ they bear an enaorsement
of the Ministers in red ink. This is against the usual
custom and our senoe of respect does not tolerate that
others should come to know of our secrets. We have
constantly been asking for the Consul to come to Sur, ir
accordance with the customs of J5ir Percy Cox and Mr
Wingate, who never delayed their meetings in Bur, but
the new Consul excuses himself from coining to Sur.
